Python optimization. |

Hello I was reading up on some Python documentation. I saw in the beginning of the manual a section for strings. I saw a cool little way how to display the strings and their lengths so I made a little function to display it just like in the document. I was wondering If I covered it in the best way of efficiency. Here is my code:
def gridIt(theString):
a = '+---'
b = '|'
sp = ' '
temp = ''
nums = ''
grid = a*len(theString) + '+'
print grid
for i in range(0,len(theString)):
temp = temp + b + sp + theString[i] + sp
if len(str(i)) == 2:
nums = nums + str(i) + sp*2
else:
nums = nums + str(i) + sp*3
output = temp + b
print output
print grid
print nums + str(len(theString))
x = raw_input("Enter in some words(numbers): ")
gridIt(str(x))
-Thanks

Wow, you actually went in and did the syntax highlighting manually?
Only thing I can see to adjust in the code is this line:
for i in range(0,len(theString)):
It's better to store len(theString) into a variable so the loop doesn't have to evaluate that function call every iteration.

Updated, making functions and using raw_input():
def start():
x = raw_input("Enter in some words( or numbers): ")
gridIt(str(x))
def gridIt(theString):
a = '+---'
b = '|'
sp = ' '
temp = ''
nums = ''
numsr = ''
grid = a*len(theString) + '+'
lenStr = len(theString)
print grid
for i in range(0,lenStr):
temp = temp + b + sp + theString[i] + sp
if len(str(i)) == 2:
nums = nums + str(i) + sp*2
else:
nums = nums + str(i) + sp*3
output = temp + b
print output
print grid
print nums
for j in reversed(xrange(0,lenStr)):
if len(str(j)) == 2:
numsr = numsr + '-' + str(j) + sp
elif j == 0:
numsr = numsr
else:
numsr = numsr + '-' + str(j) + sp*2
print numsr
print "Ther are: " + str(lenStr) + " chars in the string."
start()

You can make that better.

lol didn't see that. Hey is they a way to do increments?
Ex: in C, C++, Java, etc
++i;
i++;
or
--i;
i--;
??
reading the docs, but haven't reach that info yet.
Also changed the last print to:
print "Ther are: " , lenStr, " chars in the string."

Found a way to make a function to do so:
>>> def make_incrementor(n):
... return lambda x: x + n
...
>>> f = make_incrementor(42)
>>> f(0)
42
>>> f(1)
43
still, that's a lot just to do a simple increment. I think a built in operator would do the trick.

Python doesn't have a ++ operator, but you can use +=1 instead.

jesus! talk about overkill =P
>>>x=0
>>>x+=1
>>>print x
1

I know, I am just doing x = x + 1; easy, safer.
